C & E are out because of the use of "that", which makes the sentence incorrect, as uncovered then refers to jobs instead of workers.

A is wrong because of the tense used (establish).

B uses establishing, is parallel and has the correct use of "who". But, "to workers who are changing jobs otherwise could be uncovered..." does not have a complete meaning (it should be "to workers changing jobs who otherwise could..."

In D, i dont like the construction "For establishing". Some of you might say the sentence ain't parallel, but I think it wouldn't be necessary to repeat the "to" before workers.

A,D -- out who refers to jobs.C,E jobs that could be uncovered for months.. "uncovered for months" incorrectly refers to jobs instead of workers.

Finally chose B.

As I told you in my first post, I was not convinced that there was a correct answer among the ones provided. So, I went looking for some light to shed on the problem.

It turns out option B was indeed, as I suspected, missing a piece. The answer should be "establishing standards that would guarantee wider access to peole with past health problems and to workers who are changing jobs and".
